Hello all,
Tomorrow I will be ordering my first mac, a mac mini. I'm getting the
one with the 320 gig harddrive and am going to get it with 4 gigs of
ram. When it comes and I hook my current keyboard up to it, I've heard
that I will need to press some keys so that it can recognize it. Some
a lot of keyboards in my
time. It was the best $50 I ever spent on a keyboard and I suspect
I'll get many years of use from this keyboard.
Good luck with whatever you choose and welcome to the wonderful world
of Mac. :)

Hello all,
First of all I just wanted to report that my mac mini is now ordered.
The apple support person was very nice and helpfull, though he didn't
know spacifics on voiceover and didn't know for example that MS office
isn't accessible on the mac as he asked me if I needed it. On
keyboard is $49.95 or
$50 from either place. So, not sure, but I know it was not $100.
